The TTX-DataLogger from TTTech Automotive, with Audi as development partner, offers comprehensive recording and analysis of the entire vehicle network. As a high-performance open and scalable platform, TTX-DataLogger is prepared for future requirements, claims the company. With an operating voltage of 6 to 32 V that features protection from stress failure, the unit meets criteria such as ease of use and flexibility. It provides the availability of recorded data of all current bus systems that are synchronized by a central time stamp (1 µs accuracy). For different application profiles, TTX-DataLogger allows holistic and selective recording at the same time, and it has an integrated diagnostic interface. Internal electronic control unit signals can also be recorded using established measurement and calibration protocols.

Time of flight (ToF) cameras are ready to let drivers control some of the many options of today’s infotainment systems with a mere wave of their hand. ToF-based systems can also monitor drivers to see if they’re drowsy or not watching roadways.

Lengthy automotive development and production cycles have long prevented automakers and startups from working together. While that’s changed a bit, many young companies still find it difficult to work with OEMs.
